Childhood maltreatment increases the risk for visceral obesity
Open accessAbstract
Objective: The reports regarding the associations between childhood maltreatment (CM) and body fat composition remain heterogeneous in humans although they are indicated in preclinical studies. In addition, the effects of CM subtypes on different types of body fat are unclear. Thus, in this study, the associations between CM and its subtypes with body fat were determined and the potential pathways were explored. Methods: The participants were assessed for a history of CM by the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and were divided into the CM group (with CM exposures) and non‐CM group (without CM exposures). Body composition was measured by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry. Salivary and blood samples were provided by the subjects. Results: Compared with the non‐CM group, subjects with a history of CM had greater visceral fat mass (1,136 ± 160 vs. 836 ± 116 g, P < 0.05) but not total body fat, android fat, body mass index, or waist‐to‐hip ratio. In addition, subjects with CM had a blunted cortisol awakening response and elevated inflammatory factors. Correlation analysis indicated that CM subtypes had differential effects on visceral adiposity and cortisol awakening response. Conclusions: It is suggested by our results that CM exposure is linked with increased visceral fat deposition, and the perturbation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity and activation of the immune system may be two potential pathways through which this relationship is explained.

ELS/CT has been repeatedly found to be independently associated with obesity and increased visceral fat deposition.
“obesity and increased visceral fat deposition (286–288)”
From Developmental Trajectories of Early Life Stress and Trauma: A Narrative Review on Neurobiological Aspects Beyond Stress System Dysregulation (2019) · cites this paper as [287]
The Discussion (page not provided) reports that childhood maltreatment was associated with greater visceral fat mass. It also says that BMI and total body fat were not associated with maltreatment and calls this the first human study to document the visceral-adiposity link. This source therefore does not support the broader claim that both obesity and visceral fat deposition have been repeatedly found to be independently associated with early-life stress.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
